Cheney endorses water boarding, and states the Administration opinion that such behavior is permissible under the terms of the recent anti-terrorism legislation - an opinion at odds with the stated intent of the folk who drafted the legislation. He also continues to praise the practice as valuable and useful, despite consensus expert opinion - including that of the current Pentagon - that such techniques do not produce reliable intelligence data.
I guess we can look forward to lots of people being water-boarded as they are detained without habeus corpus.
So, if making a person partially drown doesn't qualify as torture, what exactly do you think might qualify to Cheney and this vile Administration?
And, since every expert on interrogation and torture agrees that this sort of thing doesn't really produce good results, why do you think our Administration is so attached to the idea of being able to treat people this way? Do you think Cheney gets turned on thinking about people being waterboarded and interrogated? Or do you think he needs to watch Nazi porn while choking puppies in order to get off.
